Update: My Jacque Fresco interview and video on a Resource Based Economy via NowThis Future shared a few weeks ago now has 142,000 Facebook shares, 16,000 comments, 102,000 likes, and 12.3 million views. Wow! For context, that's nearly 4x times the amount

Resharing this article in light of death penalty news today, as well as much new news on neural prosthetics. I'm guessing in the future death row inmates will have a choice of whether to be killed or be altered. That seems a humane and inexpensive way scie

Resharing this article in light of death penalty news today, as well as much new news on neural prosthetics. I'm guessing in the future death row inmates will have a choice of whether to be killed or be altered. That seems a humane and inexpensive way science will change this controversial issue. Of course, in 10-15 years time, when we have this type of tech, murder will be much more difficult to accomplish, since life saving techniques will have advanced so far too. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/ar...

I'll be speaking and debating at a Christian university in Southern California on #transhumanism in June. Looks like an interesting event: http://www.cui.edu/academicprograms/c...

My idea of leasing Federal lands to pay a basic income (coined #ZoltPay by some) has been catching on. People are asking for specifics, and here's how I'd start getting all Californian's money as a Governor my first year in Office without raising taxes. Na

My idea of leasing Federal lands to pay a basic income (coined #ZoltPay by some) has been catching on. People are asking for specifics, and here's how I'd start getting all Californian's money as a Governor my first year in Office without raising taxes. Naturally, to fully fund a state (as well as a national) basic income is an incremental process, in the same way automation is an incremental process. But there are methods to literally make all Californians wealthier almost overnight. The world is changing and we need bold transformative ideas to thrive. 40% of Californian's live right around the poverty line. That's simply unacceptable. The Dems and GOP have created this mess. Give someone else a shot now! Happy reading! http://www.triplepundit.com/2017/04/g...

In 10 days, I'm speaking at the 2017 California Libertarian Party convention. It's in San Jose, and I'll be doing a short talk at the reception on Friday night, April 28, and giving a formal 45-min talk on Saturday, April 29, 1:30PM on Technology and Liberty, and how radical science like transhumanism needs freedom to grow. Please join me at this major event! https://ca.lp.org/pricing/
